#i’ll talk anout her mentor and how he ‘adopted’ her eventually too 🫶

[iceicewifey]

keep thinking about all the (metaphorical) headaches quiet riot gave shay after it first developed…

it’s ability operates thru physical touch, so more often than not for the first while until she got the hang of it, it’d just go ahead and mute anything she touched, much to her annoyance.

living in a motel room was hard enough as it was, and having a stand that muted the microwave so she couldn’t hear it beeping just made things worse. she already had a hard enough time remembering to actually grab the contents… not knowing when it’d beeped was even worse! she had many evenings where she found herself realizing like fifteen minutes later, wondering to herself, “did i even start that…?”

it’d mute the tv anytime she tried to watch anything, the radio, even her friends if she hugged them, it’d mute anything she touched.

there were also have times where she’d be starting her bike, affectionately named saxon, where her stand would mute it too, ruining her favorite part—hearing the engine roar to life. one such instance led to her sitting on a completely silent motorcycle, tears streaming down her face as she continuously started and turned off her bike, screaming “stop it! stop it!” to herself, certainly an unusual sight to any passersby.
